Weekly Recap
Just a reminder, if you have a temperature depth system on board your
vessel and it’s not working, please reach out to George so we can get it
fixed for you. Call or text 508-299-9693 or email george.maynard@noaa.gov.
Thanks to Capt. Troy on the F/V Debbie Sue, Capt. Mike on the F/V
Mister G, and Capt. Sam on the Alison Ann for flagging issues with their
systems this week. We’ll be in touch to figure things out.
This week has been a busy one for the eMOLT crew. George worked with
the team from Lowell Instruments on some hardware testing earlier this
week in preparation for yesterday’s visit to Point Judith with some of
the NEFSC Study Fleet team. We installed new temperature / depth sensors
and deckboxes on two Study Fleet partner vessels, the F/V Cody and the
F/V Nicholas C. Although the install aboard the F/V Cody went to plan,
we were plagued by bluetooth issues aboard the F/V Nicholas C, just a
reminder that every vessel is different. The Nicholas C headed out last
night, but we’ll make an effort to get back down to the Point with
engineers from Lowell Instruments in the near future to wrap that one
up. Erin Pelletier and Andrew Goode participated in the Fishermen’s
Climate Roundtable hosted by the Island Institute on Wednesday. Huanxin
headed up to Maine to work with Erin on installing a new eMOLT system
aboard the F/V Bella Elena and then both of them headed over to the
Fishermen’s Forum.
For those of you attending the Maine Fishermen’s Forum, we encourage
you to stop by the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation (outside the large
meeting rooms) and the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal
Ocean Observing Systems (near main lobby) booths. If you do not find
anyone there and/or would like to make an appointment, please call/text
Erin Pelletier (GOMLF) at 207-205-8088 or Tom (NERACOOS) at 207-650-9766
to schedule a chat. George and JiM are not at the forum this year
